XOntos, the next game from acclaimed Amnesia horrorsmiths Frictional Games, is delayed—instead of being out later this year as originally planned, the studio said today that it will drop in 2027 instead.
No mention of Grand Theft Auto 6 was made in the delay announcement, although with the second half of 2026 now in full swing and Rockstar's colossus bearing down on the world with increasing speed, I tend to assume that it's at least on the periphery of any game delay into '27. In the case of Ontos, though, Frictional said it simply wants to get it right.
"Ontos is our most ambitious game to date, both in terms of its size and scale, and in the depth and layers of our story and gameplay," the studio wrote on X. "In order to deliver this vision, we have decided to push the release of Ontos to 2027. We look forward to sharing more updates about Ontos, our characters, and our world soon."
